Codes

Fire/EMS departments in Licking County have moved almost entirely to plain language, although some remnants of BSSA codes and signals remain, such as 33 (en route), 37 (on the scene), 13 (non-emergency response), 27 (emergency response), and 16 (death). Also, the Newark Fire Department occasionally still uses "10-22," their former code for the police department, and "10-33," which indicates an emergency response (with lights and sirens), primarily when transporting to the hospital.

Heath PD also uses 858.2125 (the public works channel) as a secondary channel. This channel is not digital.

Not all departments operate full-time. The Licking County Sheriff's Office covers their jurisdictions when they are not operating. Neither Gratiot nor Hanover have a local police department.

The Licking County coroner is referred to as either "unit 50" or "450."

Codes and Signals

Most departments in Licking County use Buckeye State Sheriffs Association codes and signals to some degree. In addition, some use "Priority 1" for emergency response (lights and sirens), "Priority 2" for regular response, and "Point 19" for drunk drivers.

Public Works

Heath public works (Street Department, Water Department, and Wastewater Department) were formerly on the (now defunct) Heath trunking system. They retain 858.2125, although this channel is rarely used except for snow removal and communications between public works departments and the Heath Police Department. The channel is also shared with the Police department, which uses it as a special event/tactical channel. Licking County is in ODOT district 5. The district headquarters is in Jacksontown in Licking Township.
